Ventriloquist Central – A Tribute To Ventriloquism

Originally when I started this blog, it was to offer a rare “Rene” ventriloquist figure, much like “Bob”. However, no sooner did I put it on the Ventriloquist Marketplace that I already had a buyer and the figure is sold.

But, since it’s an interesting Rene figure and one of the older ones, I thought you might enjoy seeing him.

This is a very early figure from Rene made in the 1970’s. He has side to side eyes and slot jaw. Both function well. Rene built his figures out of neoprene which is a hard rubber.

Over the years the head stick on this fellow has become bent ever so slightly but still functions great. The paint is all original but it was touched up on the end of the nose, a great job, and around the ball socket of the neck.

Ventriloquist Jay Johnson

One of today’s best ventriloquists is Jay Johnson. His show “The Two And Only” is a wonderful show chronicling the adventures of Jay Johnson on his career path as a ventriloquist. I was privileged to see his performance before the show made it to Broadway in a very small theatre in Cambridge Ma. and I absolutely loved the show.

One of the things in the show that really caught my eye was Jay’s figure which he purchased from Art Sieving. A wonderful figure which Jay still has and brings him out each night in his show.

As a collector of ventriloquist figures I couldn’t get enough of this wonderful figure. Unfortunately for me Mr Sieving’s figures are no where to be found. I have never seen another one of his figures except for the one Jay owns.

I am just curious if any of you out there happen to have a pictures of Mr Sieving’s figures. I think it would be great to see some of his vetriloquial creations.
